I thought this was very well written and the concept and emotions and feelings of loss with dealing with a chronic health condition was accurate and well done, from some level of my own first hand experience.
While the story was of course, sad on many levels, it was also real. The relationship between Marco and Nadia gave it some lightness even though it had a sad undertone for obvious reasons. And the fact that both MCs each dealt with their own struggles with brokenness of a different kind made it more endearing and identifiable. Even with their flaws, I loved both of them, as well as their friends and family.
The audio was great. The narrator made each character, the accents and the Italian family mannerisms, come alive. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this audiobook. All opinions are mine.
